The Pay of Female Teacher. While It cannot he saM that the a ine of female an ff rage ha made progress commensurate with the time that ha elapsed since It first began to be agitated or the amount of energy that has been expended In lis behalf, the general position of woman In her relation to the community and before the law has ben. If not greatly Improved, certainly gieatly changed. In moat, ir not all. of the stales her legal and property rights are Just the same As her husband's, except that In some of them abe has the advantage of being able to compel him to pay any debts she may contrail, and that he Is liable If she slanders or Injures any one.

That 1s to say, she Is given all a man's legal rights, and not only relieved of some of her burdens, but enabled to cast hers on him. Now that she is beginning, in fact has already entered Into competition with men In so many of the vocations which they have long monopolized, the question la hHng generally asked why she should not receive equal pay for the same amount of work done. At first abe was ral her timid and backward about aHserling herself in this respect. It had not been established whether she could do as good work as men. and she hesitated about putting forward the claim.

Of late, however, women generally have begun to Insist on It with great vehemence and persistence, and in the New York Legislature what Is called by the opposition the Female Teachers' I.ohbv has succeeded In getting through a bill which provides that henceforth women teachers shall he paid exactly the same as men for the same grade of work. A large bevy of fair and fascinating teachers, selected. It Is claimed, for their personal attractiveness. Invaded the hall of the New York Assembly and took the Legislature in hand. Only 15 out of 120 were able to resist their persuasiveness, and the announcement of the result created pitch an excitement that the stern young Spc-aker was obliged to direct the Sergeant-at-Arms to clear the floor.

This whs a great achievement" for the women, and few will be disposed to quarrel with It or to deny the substantial justice of the decision. It Is. to be sure, said by many that female teachers In our schools to the preponderating extent which is now the case Is most undesirable, because it leads to the feminization of the boys, who should 1 never be brought up without strong i masculine influence over them, and that, consequently, women should not be permitted to teach In the higher grades nor encouraged to aspire to i them. It Is also believed by good au thority thai, now that the pay has! I been put tip. men will compete for all the positions, and drive women out of teaching altogether.

Before the movement Is extended to other states it will well to wait and see how It works out In New York. This view may turn out to be correct, and altogether It Is too soon to pronounce on the general effect, beneficial or otherwise, of what "may be called the woman's movement, which has already made such strides. The question may Mill be asked: Would it not have been better for men. for women themselves, better for society at large, and. above all.

more conducive to the supremacy of the American strain and to the vigor of future generations, had woman been content to remain as sine was fifty years ago? It cannot be denied that, in becoming man's competitor, instead of the chief object of his care and solicitude, she has -sacrificed something. Whether It was worth while and for the best or not, time will show. (rvneroaity To Education. Tive million dollars for the building of new schoolhouses and the repair of old ones, that is what the Senate's Investigating Committee reports to be necessary in Philadelphia." This is quoted from the Inquirer, which adds: "There is not the slightest doabt that every dollar of the money Is needed badly. We cannot go on in tha disgraceful way we have been going." Then follows an account of the wretched and insufficient condition the Philadelphia school buildings are in.

It is the same sort of story that occasionally cornea from nearly all cities. The purpose of this article is not to reflect especially on the Quaker City, but the condition there is suggestive of the Beted of general retrenchment. The constitution of Pennsylvania provides that not more than seven per cent of the taxable valuation of a city shall be borrowed. A proposition to amend the constitution so as to extend the limit to ten per cent is before the Legislature, but let it be as expeditious as pos-'- aad it could not operative for three rears. The maker of the Pean sylvaala constHatloa has the; wisdom to pat restraint on those whe are la hurry to pry op the foundation of gov eminent.

The men who are ursine this additional burden on the taxpayers want a constitutional convention called to- met next winter, so that the proposed bonds may be almost I medi al ely Issued and realised upon. perhaps Philadelphia Is not in such dire need of the Ave million dollars aa the Inrreaaers think she is. No doubt the metropolis of Pennsylvania, like many other cities, is running her public school system far beyond original designs, and taking it out of its Just scop.

Although th. burial ceremony yesterday with which with simplicity the body of David C. Willcox. until within a few weeks President of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad, waa entombed, was prtvste. and in a sense aecret, yet there will be constant memorlala to the career.

and especially the later services, of this remarkable man. Borne of his friends surmise that If there were any lingering mental sanity, any contemplation of what might be done with Ma body after death. he had some hope that It would be commit ted to burial at sea. That may be no more than a aurmlse, but several of those who knew him well and who have long been perplexed by what seemed to be a eurtous Incongruity In his character, namely, a capacity- for great aggreaaiveneae, with aleo a moat modest disposition, causing him to shrink almost with the shyness of a self-conscious child from public notice, are of the opinion that his hope was that he would be burled at sea. Severs! memorlala to this man, some In the form of publication, some in minute entered upon the records of the directorates with which he was associated, will follow speedily his burial.

Mr. Willcox was almost unique among the railway managers of high authority, whose office headquarters were In the city of New York. He was always In some doubt as to the expediency of call ing him from his almost purely legal relations to this company to the difficult post of President, it is possible that he may have had some knowledge of the failures of others, who. having been lawyers snd counsel for one or another railroad cor poration, through that relation were at last brought the Presidency. He must have known of the short career of John M.

Hall, with whom he had some social and fraternity relations because of the common membership of these two in certain of the Yale fraternal societies. Judge Hall be came President of the New York and New Haven Railroad Company after consider able service as counsel for it. and especial ly ss its legal representative before the Connecticut legislature. His Peculiar Gift. He had a gift which Mr.

Willcox did not poBea. that of successful appeal to political or popular assemblies, especially legislative bodies. A singularly handsome man in his physical proportions, and in his lineaments having a greater charm of oratory and of elocution than Mr. Willcox, but by no means the power of lucid, exhaustivo and critical statement which Mr. Willcox possessed.

It seemed to Judge Hail's friends thst his field was thst of politics, and he might, bad he remained a politician with ambition, have easily been named by his party for tJovernor of Connecticut, and In II probability would now be serving In the Federal Senate. Judge Hall, however, was overpersuaded by friends, with whom ha had some years maintained very close professionsl relations In connection with the New Haven Railroad. In a sense the Presidency of that corporation was bequeathed to Judge Hall by Charlea P. Clark, who waa the first President to lift the New Haven out of its comparatively limited field and to establish it aa one of the great national systems. Mr.

Hall died as true a victim of his anxiety, his dpcrate attempt to master all the details of railway management, excepting the legal, he had already mastered those, ss Mr. Willcox died because the burden he had tii dertaken waa so great that his body waa not able to bear It, so that there came mental Uslnn snd other physical distresses more than a year ago. Karlier In the history of the New Haven another who had long served aa counsel for tr.a'. corporation, the late- George H. Wstrous.

As counsel for that corporation Mr. Wat- rous tamed man 7 triumphs. As the execu tive Lead of the corporation he did not match hia legal achievements, and.

having undcitar-en thi. work, he permitted it greatly to embarrass him, often to distress him. so thst he. too. collspaed.

Undoubtedly Mr. vvtiicox was called by the directorate to the post of responsible executive for the Delaware and Mud-son chiefly because there was an understanding that the country waa ap proaching the era of legislative and popular agitation.

The Delaware and Hudson Mem of Itself could only In a narrower -ne be regarded as an Interstate rail-read. Runs North and South. It Is one of those longitudinal roads, so-called, whose traffic runs north and south, and some railway managers have been or opinion that these really offer greater difficulties of management in these days than do the trunk llnee themselves or the transcontinental railroads. The- anthracite coal situation waa occasioning railway men great anxiety. There were popular agitation and many sincere accusatlona that the roads that penetrated the anthracite region carrying coal from that district to tidewater had perfected a combination or trust, which.

In spirit at least, waa In violation of the common law and even of the Federal statutes, Therefore, there seemed to be Important legal evocations to be determined speedily, and it may be that chiefly, for that reason Mr. Willcox waa called to the Presidency of the Delaware and Hudson. Had be possessed some of the suavity, the art of conciliating Individuals and ma sag of men which was no brilliantly exercised by his classmate, who for 12 years erred as Senator from Idaho 1a Congress. Mr. Willcox might have accomplished some of the results h.

had in mind with com pa r-ative ease. But his temperament was not oS-ahat kind. He was aa clearly and almost ss Icily Intellectual as Samuel J. Tllden. He waa not able to protect himself aa Tllden did by a line philosophy of life.

His nerves were upon the surface. a--carried his anxieties aa well as hia inspirations in bra face, and that was the characteristic of hiss in his college days at Yaie when bj waa aiming at supremacy aa a scholar, having a friendly rivals some ef the naoat brilliant Intel lac that bad ever gathered ia the aaase classroom at Tale. Mr. WUlcea THE ENQUIRER. CIXCIKNATC THURSDAY, 31 AT 2.

1907. OLD-WORLD BT Lord William KeviH, the British peer, Brought up among the most refined and sedan circle of the British nobility, a peer of the realm turns out to be an incorrigible criminal. Some writers in Iondon papers sssert that Lord William Neviil Is a veritable Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

In the aalona of society he Is the effete gentleman, displaying the generous qualities of well-bred Englishmen. While at cards In the clubs or when In his cups he manifests the Instinct of the criminal brute, not. stepping even at com mon theft. He is the fourth son of the aged Marquis of Abergavenny and a member of the great family which descended from Warwick, the King maker. His wife is a daughter of the Marquis de Santurce and a member of the famous Murrieta family.

1 It was while gambling at a fashionable Ixmdun club in that Ird Nevtll man aged trf defraud Captain Herbert Henry 8pencer-Clay. son-in-law of William Waldorf Astor, out of several thousands of pounds. The latter is rather an effeminate Individual and an easy victim for card sharps. "It was at hia Instigation, however, that the Rritlsh peer was then brought Into Court, convicted of theft by a trick was not long In the Presidency of the Delaware and Hudson before lie, in association with the late Samuel Spencer, was placed in command of the railroad interests which sought to perfect the rate bill under consideration by Congress. That responsibility could not have been put into the charge of abler men.

Each supplemented the other. Mr. Spencer, a graduate and post graduate of thegreat university of practical railway operation, and. moreover, having a real statesman's conception of what the'eco-nomic ncd of the South was, and in what way that could best be scried, was able In consultation with Mr. Willcox to inform htm of the broader railway conditions throughout the States.

Mr. Willcox. with his consummate training and profound knowledge, which years of Intense and interrupted study of the law as applied to the railways, and the law also as it relate to corporations as created by the Legislature and aa servants of the people, was able to assimilate the Information given him by Mr. Spencer, as also Mr. Spencer wss to apply the law as laid down by Mr.

Willcox to the problem which they both faced. Their arguments and pleas upon the question of Federal control or regulation of rates are true memorials of their ability, and it was largely due to their service that the Court review provision was Incorporated in the law. Untainted Presidents. Here, were two railway Presidents of personal Integrity beyond any suspicion, conscientious in performance of their dutiea a citisens. untainted with any transactions In the speculative market, each with abundant opportunities, had he chosen to take advantage of them, to amasa great fortunes without doing that.

who. by the strange Irony of fate, were victims, one by accident and the other by reason of mental strain, which his physique was not able to resist, of their intense seal for unflagging industry In the work of deeloptng honorably and without deiance of law the railway systems. Mr. Wlllcox's friendship long maintained with E. H.

Harriman was regarded by those who looked upon it with superficial eyes as a curious msting. -so to speak, of temperaments and Intellectual and mural characters that were strangely unlike. But the temperament of each of these two men in some respects waa similar. Mr. Willcox, like Mr.

Harriman. bad a. capacity for Intense concentration and prolonged application and industry, coupled with a sort of nervous mannerism' and an almost defiant disposition for taciturnity. Mr. Harriman bad the profoundeat respect for the legal ability and the wonderful gift of Mr.

Will cox for clear expression of legal statements. wbereaa Mr. Willcox. on the other band, had perhaps what was the most perfect understanding snd appreciation of the real genius ef Mr. Harriman.

revealed somewhat late In life, for the operation and the perfection of our railway systems. The Delaware and Hudson system ltsell Is of peculiar growth. Its parent waa the canal built before the days of railroads, for the swift communication between tidewater on the Hudson and the then early developed anthracite reglona of Eastern Pennsylvania. There came little accretion, and almost before tile early owners of that property realised what they possessed, they discovered thst by building northerly from Albany' they would be able to approach Montreal, and by the leasing of the railroad that runs along the western foothills of the Catskills they would also be in communication with a trunk line at Bingham ton. Other capital has sought to share some part of the Montreal and Eastern Canada, traffic with the Delaware and Hudson.

Jay Gould at one time contemplated the continuation of a little line running from Bennington. Vt. to Chatham. N. and Its subsequent control of the Central Vermont, so that thereby a new through lrne between New York City and Canada, well rivaling the Delaware and Hudson, might be perfected So.

too. the Tanderbflta, in the depth of winter and wtth an energy and suffering that almost compare with Napoleon's passage of the Alps, built a railroad from Utlca, over and through the Adirondack aiming at Montreal, which they reached, and at Ottawa, which they never did reach. But none of these rivalries ever greatly disturbed the Delaware and Had son. Some of the trsxtBe problems were very complicated, due to the variety of traffic offered. The management of the Delaware and Hudson, from the purely operating point of view, would not have greatly embarrassed Mr.

WiUcox. but be was desperately anxious srst these popular agitation should result legislacoa wnica would seriously affect railway securities. Holukd. HAD SHEEP KILLED. TTpper Sandusky.

CHI71UI. 2. 'aw' i eJ PETE," The White House Bull, Has Bfi Pat Back Dot Fr Sane Siaister Uctire. May Be a Delicate Attention To "Jimmy" Garfield, Wss, It Was 1 igkt Set Tp a Faliiig Be4 ia tha Exeeatir Ofire sraetat, nisexrcw re a oc ia Washington. D.

Msy 1. The poflee-men on guard at the White House have been re-enforced by Pete, the bulldog. Pete only recently haa been relieved from ban ishment on Surgeon-Oeneral Rlxey's farm, where he was sent aa a punishment for his error in chasing the French Ambassador up a tree when M. Jusserand called to play tonals with the President, The lndlgnstion excited at that time by Pete's lack of Judg ment was so great that only considerations of the highest public necessity can account for hia restoration to favor. A short while ago a White House order was Issued directing that newspaper men be not allowed to loiter In the grounds, particularly after nightfall, for the purpose of interrogating eminent visitors who had come to ask.

"Where do I stand 7" The general view of Pete's promotion is that the 40 policemen hav. been found inadequate for the purpose, and that It has been necessary to summon help. to scans oannguo. There are, however, those who effect to believe that there is a plot to scare Secre-tsry Gsrfleld. and Washington opinion may.

therefore, be said to be divided into two camps. Mr. Osrfleld long sgo formed the habit of going to see the President shortly after he got out of bed, returning at the President's hour for being shaved. seeing the President again as he was going In to luncheon, visiting him two or three times in the course of the afternoon, descending upon him at the hour of 4 p. when the President tskes his exercise, coming in sgaln slong about dinner time, pay ing another call In the early evening and again allowing the President to converse with him at various times up to and in-cludins midnight.

This program, being carried out daily, attracted attention, and one day the newspaper correspondents regularly on duty at the White House csiled upon Mr. Loeo ana asked him if he could shed any light on a matter of great public Import. Mr. Loeb looked surprised and asked: hat Is it. "Well." explained the spokesman, "there is a rumor around town that Secretary Garfield asked the President's permission to have a folding bed put in the Executive offices so that he will not have to lose so much time going and coming." MADS ROOSEVBM.T UIOH.

Mr. Loeb told the President and the Presi dent told Mr. Garfield. After the Presi dent had finished he began laughing that Is. the President did and continued to laugh for probably as much ss 15 minutes.

Garfield endeavored, as In duty bound, to join In the Presidential mirth, but did not succeed for about 12 minutes, at the end of which time he managed to work up a feeMe. and ghost-like twitch at the corners of bis mouth. Immediately after this his visits fell off about 75 per cent and have not Increased In frequency, though he is still at the White House oftener than anybody else except the President, Mr. Loeb and the Roosevelt family. To-morrow it is proposed to mske Inquiries concerning the real reason for detailing Pete to duty, and settle the question once for all.

The Garfield party is confident of a victory, while those who Incline to the opinion that Pete is really there for the benefit of the newspaper men declare that they can not lose. Representatives of both parties will call on Mr. Loeb tomorrow and ask him to make a definite pronouncement.

Tbe suntptnstit ef the great arm lee of' the eerM with aa luipued rifle Is hardly completed tbe Mechanics bogia work on a new weapon.

At the recent examination of the Gorman War Academy tbe aetnmatle rifle wws eate ef the themes for diecuselrm. Tbe bow em trial has a mega sine holding tee cartridges: the recoil Is vtflksed to load and cock. Coo soq neatly the soMler east re- tnetn quWJr -tn pnacUoo. a ear remevtnc his eye from the target, and Are hie tea ahota. The edvantages are that the soldier with the automatic artm ran aim snore eotetly aad securely, as there te no rooofl to the arm.

Ha need not snore his area or body. snd his position Is better mimi fretn the view the enemy. At the long ranges now uaed In battle the movements of the musket or of the soldier's body often convey to. the enemy the only clew to range and direction. Finally, the automatic gun Insure a rapid Are elmilar to that of machine guna.

with an aim more accurate than that of the present gun. The only disadvantage is the danger that the ammunition may be fired eway too soon, but this csn be prevented by proper training in so-called fire discipline or fire control. Even with tb present arm the soldier can Are away all his ammunition In a few minutes. The first battle, however. yusually teaches him the great disadvantage of being without ammunition In an action.

An army artth a superior weepovt tor owe regarded aa superior) has a great advantage in confidence and will feel itself stronger. For sll thee reasons the introduction of self-losdtng musket Is only a question of time. France la reported to have perfected an automatic gun. and Germany has been at work on one for years. In Italy an automatic musket holding 2-1 charges In th.

magazine ha been proposed. A regiment In defending, a poaltion wtth the present gun of six cartridges In the msgaslne can fire in two minute about 432.00 shots, wheress one armed with the self-loeding piece of 2S csrtridges in the msgax'ne could fire in the same time 1.12S.00O shots.

The next week he repeeted 'the visit and passed a thoroughly enjoyable evening. On the third occasion he propowed. Miss Hahar was In love with the young men snd ad mltted It, but said that she didn't think she should wed for six year, or until she was 25. Furthermore she figured out that If Sanborn came to visit her once a week and hired a rig at $1 a visit he would spend over In that time.

"That's more than enough for a long wedding trip," aaid the thrifty young woman. 'Why, we could set up housekeeping on $." "It your sge snd the dollsr a week sire all that stand In the way the matter can be arranged," said Sandborn. "I will walk back and forth, and put tbe money In the bank." So It was agreed, partly iq Jest snd partly In earnest, and wince that day the young man hasn't missed a weekly visit. Neither rain nor snow hss Interfered with his love-making, and he la so certain that he will be able to keep up his Sunday tripe that he has begun arrangements for the wedding, BRIDAL TOUR ON HORSEBACK.
